Thank you for asking

Gifts April gave us the day before she left for admission

Several people have asked me how our Granddaughter, April, is doing. This is a tough road for her. Her condition didn't develop over night and it takes time to overcome it. The minimum stay in recovery is six months and some stay longer depending upon progress. We talk with her every Saturday and her voice seems stronger but she is still broken. It has been around six weeks since she entered and she is eating better. One part of the contract was she had to agree to nutritionalist recommendations and eat accordingly. They are asked not to discuss food with family and friends but it is a good balanced diet that has to be helping her. I think the reason for not discussing it is eating is not supposed to be part of a normal person's conversation unless it is an extraordinary event. It is simply something we all do and that is how they need to view it. After eating their plates are checked and they are asked to stay in a common area for at least an hour after eating. This is a good Christian program with high success rates so we are of course encouraged. Your kind words and prayers are appreciated as always. Every family has some serious bumps in the road and this happens to be one of ours.
